Comparison and Supervised Learning of Segmentation Methods Dedicated to Specular Microscope Images of Corneal Endothelium

Algorithm 1

Vincent and Masters’s algorithm for detecting the human corneal endothelium cells [4].

Data: ← Greyscale image of cornea endothelial cells.

← Order of alternate sequential filter.

← Value for the -maxima.

Result: : Segmentation of the cornea endothelial cells.

(1) begin

(2)  ASF ← Alternate Sequential Filter of order of ;

(3)  ← -maxima of ASF and binarization (threshold 0);

(4)  ← Watershed constrained by on Input image;

(5)  ← Pruning of to eliminate the lines touching the borders of the image;

(6) end
